Co-sign what Dlezinye said. I hit up Paul (Large Pro) on Twitter and asked if he could liberate a better version of this song. This is the best version I've heard so far of it.. it's more jazzy then the album version, both are great in their own right..
This is easily one of the best hip hop tracks ever. The production is out of this world...shout out to Large Proffessor. The lyricism is hard hitting and paints a picture so vivid its like I'm watching a music video. Still listen to this daily. That makes it 328 days today. I know, I was late to recognize. Nas, New York East Coast...thats that real shit! Shout Out from South Africa!
@twinklepayne This isn't a remix. This is the original version of It Ain't Hard To Tell (the lyrics are completely different). It was on Nas's Demo. Large Professor produced it and the label asked them to do it again, so Large Pro flipped the sample (this too uses Human Nature by Michael Jackson) and thus It Ain't Hard To Tell was born
Excellent clean up on the track!!! I was wondering if you could do me a favor. If you youtube "The Roots feat. Jill Scott - You got me (NPA live, 19.04.1999)" and click on it, you will hear that the audio of the video is TERRIBLE! I was hoping you could extract all that is wrong within it and the post it up on youtube, and with a link to a dwnld to, if you could. You know, make it sound HQ like you did with this track. Please and thank you. Also, Madd Props on this clean track v.

@exkimo64 Thanks alot man for the nice polished and clean verison of the track! but i kinda liked the sctracthier quality one, it just felt so raw...but still thnx for the uploads
@hoody232 Nope this is the actual version, a different file I found. I just removed a tag from it (it had one but it wasn't over any lyrics so I was able to get rid of it.
The best Nas song in my opinion. Personally I like the other one you uploaded better with that annoying "Jay Love nigga!" because it has more bass and slower speed. This one is 2 seconds faster. Did you made this?
@ALVmazer Nope that's Life's A Bitch. The horns are sampled for this song and it says in the video where they came from and at what point in the sample they appear. So check it out.
"Might as well be a singer but you aint harming Nas"
hahah amazing!

This is what rap truly is...the rap tunes of today are so far from what the game used to be. Ain't no one rapping like this nowadays.
